Leah Remini is making no stops on her "Screw Scientology" train. She pulled her locomotive into Ellen station where she told the host and all her millions of viewers about what jerks Scientologists are. Ellen seemed aghast. Here's what went down, as transcribed by The Underground Bunker:
ELLEN: Why did you choose to leave, if you can answer that?
LEAH: Well, you know, my mother got involved when we were very young, so it’s all we really ever knew. But over time my eyes opened, and I just could no longer be affiliated with the organization, and my ...
Well THAT was fast. Shelly Miscavige, wife of Scientology leader/ruler David Miscavige, has apparently been found after being missing for seven years. Except, that, according to the church, she was never missing. She just wasn't seen in public. Ever. And if you asked about her, and wouldn't stop, people would get very angry. This is what Leah Remini discovered, which is why she filed a missing person's report for Shelly with the LAPD.
TMZ has been covering the story...religiously. (Sorry, co...
Dear Leah Remini, to quote Oda Mae Brown, "You in danger, girl." You see, we all know now that Remini left the church of Scientology, and is apparently planning to write a tell-all, which is scary enough. But she's not done.
Part of the reason she left the church was because of the shady doings of church leader David Miscavige. The shadiest of all these things being the current whereabouts of his wife, Shelly. Mrs. Miscavige wasn't at Tom Cruise's wedding, and who would want to miss that madness? In fact, Remini hadn't seen Shelly for a while. Miscavige was v...
Leah Remini raised some eyebrows and dropped some jaws when she abruptly "quit" Scientology, and then spoke out against it. She's not done speaking. Apparently she's currently writing a tell-all book. I want to read this so hard. More from Life & Style:
Sources are saying that the 43-year-old actress is busy writing a book about her experiences in the controversial religion and the King of Queens star herself confirmed the big news!
Leah explained she began to question the information...
Leah Remini, probably best known for The King of Queens, full-on quit Scientology. Oh yeah by the way, Leah Remini, probably best known for The King of Queens, was a Scientologist. She released a statement for her fans, but did not release a statement as to why she decided to leave. Rumors are it's because of church leader and best man at Tom Cruise's wedding, David Miscavige, and how he and the church are corrupt, and there's also that he's f-cking creepy and has a missing goddamn wife that...
Russell Brand is a zany prankster and generally a pretty bizarre dude (but a chill one I'll give him that). So it's no surprise that while working with Tom Cruise on that horrendous shit show that is Rock of Ages, Russell thought it would be fun to see if Xenu's right hand man might be interested in bringing him into the fold. The short answer? He totally wasn't.
From Conan:
"Firstly, he's a glorious man and he's very kind and sweet - that's what you say if you want to continue to work in the film industry."
"But I was thinking, 'He's a member of that religion Scientology, I'm interested in that'. So every so often I'd say things like, 'Oh Tom, sometimes I'm a bit lost in life', to see if he would try and get me in. He'd go, 'I dunno, read the Bible'. Or, 'Tom, I wish I had a way of thinking more positively about the future'. That man had no interest in getting me in Scientology at all.
"If there's a cult that doesn't want me, I want to know why!"
LOL, I love that Tom Cruise told Russell Brand to read the bible. Like, what? Also, Tom might be batshit insane, but he's not unintelligent and he probably knew what Russell was trying to do, which is why he got the answer he did. Poor Russell, though. It's a dark day when not even Scientology will take you in. />

I'm kidding, I have no idea whether or not she's got the L. Ron Hubbard stamp of approval ... I just know that Tom was allegedly dirty dancing with his new chick, and that makes me laugh because I totally thought that dirty dancing ceased to be cool in seventh grade, but the joke's on me, because apparently I was wrong. Here's the scoop from the NY Daily News:
Tom Cruise cast a normal Queens gal in a starring role - his leading lady on a wild night on the town.
Less than six months after h...
Not the Church itself. No, the Church of Scientology just loves Tom Cruise. It's the other, boring old non-famous, non-rich, non-telepathic Scientologists who are getting mad at Tom Cruise.
From Radar:
Some people have marveled at how little Tom Cruise has seen beloved daughter, Suri, since he split from Katie Holmes, but RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal he is getting special treatment from the strict heads of Scientology to even have any contact with her.
"They have already bent the rules for Tom," the former...
Sorry, Scientology, but it's true. Tom Cruise doesn't want to play with you anymore. He would rather just go home, if it's all the same. Also, he would appreciate it if you just wouldn't call him for a while. Thanks.

Could Scientology's most famous ambassador be parting ways with the church?

Well, get in line, Scientology, because you're not the only one. Now that Robert Pattinson is single, all he has to do is pick up the shattered pieces of his heart, hot glue them back together (you can't tell me that this man doesn't do arts and crafts), and just walk outside, and he'll find thousands upon thousands of people who want him. Like, just for example, this girl:
But nobody could treat Rob as good as the Church of Scientology. Nobody else can give him that much power, that ...
From the National Enquirer via Celebitchy:
Scientology leader David Miscavige called a secret emergency summit among the controversial church’s top celebrities to deal with the public fallout from Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ divorce.
Sources told The Enquirer that among those contacted for the clandestine conference call were Hollywood hot shots John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, Bijou Phillips, Leah Remini, Jenna Elfman and Juliette Lewis.
The church has been on the defensive since Katie blind...
And she wasn't even brought into the church the right way, guys, GOD. That means she's not even a "real" Scientologist, whatever the f-ck that is, anyway.
Here's a recent blog entry by Marty Rathbun, who was former second-in-command at the Co$.
David Miscavige has no doubt by now convinced Tom Cruise that yours truly ought to be the target of his ire for Katie Holmes’ splendidly executed split and consequent historic media coverage. After all, he’s already got Cruise’s attorney, th...
